Life Science Partner is pleased to announce the recruitment of Barbara Benedict to Notal Vision as Director of Patient Engagement.

The technology combines a physical device with a data management infrastructure and a cloud-based physician monitoring system.

In her new role, Benedict will have broad responsibility over all operational aspects of the customer experience, developing key patient engagement strategies and ensuring an exceptional experience for patients and their caregivers.

Previously, Benedict led customer engagement and marketing at Conifer Health, the healthcare management services subsidiary of Tenet Health.

She also spent three years as Director, Customer Relations, Marketing and Operations at Healthcare Partners, which manages and administers healthcare products for contracted health plans. Here she led operations for a large multi-specialty medical clinic including a comprehensive customer relations program and community engagement program.

“Barbara has demonstrated she knows how to use remote monitoring technologies to keep patients well, and that she can build and enact a strategy for ensuring these patients are engaged and supported throughout the entire patient journey,” notes Tom Callaway, MD, MBA, President of Life Science Partner. “Her blend of patient-centered empathy and healthcare operations rigor make her a great match for this important role.”
